    " Crap, got here 2 days late. I felt all smug, thinking I was ahead of the game. Ah, well.

    Don't feel like flipping through the entire thread, so I'll go ahead and say it. If you click on the tuner knob, it takes you to p4a.jp, a website for "Persona 4: The Animation". I don't know if that's what it is, if this is what the countdown is for, but that would be sweet, especially if Sou- er, Charlie, continues to refrain from speaking. 

    Also, why is this not front-page GB news? God damn traitors... Hope they at least mention it and their thoughts on the Bombcast.
    "
    I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Vinny and Jeff knew about the countdown. They mentioned one during the "I love Mondays" segment. That could be for something else though...

    Course this begs the question how does an American get ahold of this when it comes out?  Ideally legally?  Any suggestions?

    I really think they are planning 13 episodes ending with Yukiko's rescue.  Keep in mind how long the beginning of the game is.  13 episodes in only about 4 hours, 20 minutes of animation.  An entire episode will be just the first limo ride.
    "

    There's a lot of stuff in P4's intro (and the game as a whole) that you could easily remove or shorten. I don't think it would be a big problem at all.

    @Commisar123:  Wait until it gets licensed by a company in the US which will probably happen some time after it's finished airing.

    Or Funimation, CrunchyRoll, and Sentai may get the licenses to stream it.

    My bet's on Crunchyroll or Anime Network. It just seems like the kind of show they'd get.

    It could also just as likely get licensed by NIS like trinity soul was, and not get streamed or have a dub, who knows.

    @CH3BURASHKA Apparently it's "Yu". "Yu", "You", get it!? "
    Or maybe, just maybe, this second announcement is something brilliant like P4P.Of course, I'm fully aware this is huge amounts of wishful thinking on my part. "
    I'm sure there are still plans for Persona 4 Advance.

    That would be nice for both us and them, it would be so far their first Blu-ray anime.

    Is it just me or did the clock reset again? I thought it was just telling the time since it's eight o' clock here but it's actually counting down.

    The other countdown expires April 14, which is the same day that Charlie first tried to enter the TV after watching the Midnight Channel.

    Also, oh shit. Anyone watching a sub is gonna have to read Tedd- I mean Kuma's -kuma verbal tic, unless they've got the best fansubber ever and turn the character into the localized version, complete with writing puns for him.

    This thread is still rolling?! It cannot be stopped!

    To whoever said the 'series' will probably cover the conclusion of Yukiko's dungeon that sounds about right. Now that I think about it if they stick anywhere near the original story they are set for material for a long while.

    I also would not mind little side stories such as the ones they have in the audio dramas. What I have seen of those that appear subbed on Youtube for Persona 3 they seemed really interesting. I would have liked to have listened to them all in translated form.

    Missed this post. Seems like actual new content will hit on the 16th, 29th of april and the 14th of may.

    I think its intentional. Sometimes the midnight channel shows something new, sometimes it don't.

    There's a lot of dialogue and other stuff in the story that's unnecessary and redundant. It wouldn't be hard to cut it down to a more manageable length.

    They'd still be a lot of plot points to get through, I'm not expecting a direct rehash of the story though. I can easily seem them doing it a little bit differently.

    AIC is the company actually making it. The Shaft rumor, as far as I can tell, just turned out to be unfounded stuff that some guy made up, since I know even Japanese commenters on those blogs were skeptical. Aniplex, while they do sometimes handle production stuff, usually seem to handle more promotional work and may even subsidize the funding of some series with certain stipulations, beings as they're a subsidiary of Sony. They've done previous work with the Persona series before, including the distribution of game soundtracks, and they were also involved with Trinity Soul, so their presence isn't surprising.

    More like, 4 seconds. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow's one is longer (according to that list, it'd be something different).

    That one will also be playing  for 10 days. Must be a biggie. I'm assuming they will put the OP.
